Message

At Gosford Park Primary School, I initially worked in an SEN classroom and then moved to work across different sections of the school. I supported behaviour management and took part in training on inclusion, developmental progression, and individual welfare.

As a Teaching Assistant, I’ve also taken part in speech and language sessions and phonics teaching and interventions. Before this, I was an SEN Assistant Teacher and Cover Teacher at Milestone Education, supporting children with academic difficulties in Coventry and conducting lessons across a range of subjects.

At the Institute of Mental Health, I counselled children and young people facing mental health issues, lectured on psychology topics, and visited hospitals to provide counselling to child patients. I also recruited by VLAD to advise psychology graduates during counselling internships and maintain reports on their progress.
